Named by the Toss of a Cent.
From the Cleveland Leader.


II NAV not be generally known that the toss
of a cent decided the name of the second largest
city on the Pacific coast, and that, too, not so
many years ago II was in the summer of 1912
whel immigration was pouring into Oregon
Two Of the pioneers A. l.. Lovejoy and man
named Overton. while en- route from Vancou-
yer to Oregon City, stepped ashore from their
canoe at the point where Portland now stands.
and, having examined the topography of the
surrounding country, concluded at once that it
was most eligible position for q town site At
some time during the ensuing winter they re-
turned, and commenced at once TO clear off the
land and make preparations for the erection of
a log cabin. Btfore they had carried out this
scheme Overton disposed of his interest in the
claim to a man named Pettygrove who, in con
junction with Lovejoy had the claim surveyed
and the boundaries established during the sum
mer Of 1874. log house was completed and
occupied during the next winter by an employee
In the summer of 1876 n more accurate survey
was made, and the ground was laid off into
streets and blocks. Lovejoy wanted to name
the city Boston. in honor Of the capital OF his
native State, while Pettygrove preferred to
honor Portland, Me, the city whence he came
The toss OF cent decided the question in favor
of Portland.
